Young Visions 2003: A follow-up study of Young Visions participants and their destinations one year later

This study by the University of Melbourne reports on the destinations of over 2,000 school leavers in 2003. The primary aim of the study was to assess the impact of a range of school programs (VET in Schools, Careers Education/Advice, Structured Workplace Learning) and labour market involvement while studying (work experience, part-time work) on the education, training and employment outcomes of young people in Australian schools. The report also explores the school leavers’ views of school and their perceptions of how well it prepared them for their current destination, and analyses the major influences on their work and/or study decisions. The study was the third and last phase of the Young Visions project.
